It is our goal at Veazie Veterinary Clinic to provide the best veterinary care and service to our clients and patients. Unlike a human hospital, our facility is maintained by a veterinarian without any governmental aid. Therefore, we must charge for all of our services as well as for any medicine, supplies and hospitalization.
Payment for Services
We believe appropriate diagnostics will lead to a more successful treatment and, ultimately, a quicker resolution of your pet’s illness. We often do not charge more per service item; instead we perform more services per visit.
- Payment in full is required at the time of service.
- Deposits are required for most hospital admissions and some procedures.
- For your convenience we accept cash, checks, debit cards, American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover and Care Credit.
- We can provide itemized estimates for all proposed procedures.
- We provide an itemized invoice after each visit.
- We always encourage discussion of financial concerns prior to procedures and treatments.
If you have any questions about the cost of care for your pet, please call us at 207-941-8840.
Care Credit
Care Credit is a personal line of credit for many healthcare procedures. It can be used for both the human and animal members of your family. It is easy to apply online, and you will usually know whether you are approved within a few minutes. You can also apply in our office.
NOTE: The extended payment plans and options posted online at carecredit.com may differ from those available to Veazie Veterinary Clinic. The payment plan information provided to you by Veazie Veterinary Clinic is the accurate representation. We will give you personalized payment plan information when you use your card at our practice.
